Fun Movie

Rating: 7/10 (18 March 2015)

This kind of movie usually wouldn't catch my interest but I'm a huge Del Toro fan so I knew I'd have to check it out.
And I'm glad I did as it was surprisingly good. Of course it's not a deep film but if you go into it to get swept along in the ride you'll have a lot of fun with it. The story premise is interesting, the action great, the art design of the Jaegers (the giant robots) and the Kaijus (the giant monsters) were fantastic and I might actually look into getting a Pacific Rim art book, the acting was good all round but Idris Ebla steals the show and there was enough human moments to keep you invested in the film without slowing it down.
So overall good fast paced fun just don't go over thinking it. I would recommend it if this isn't your normal type of film but are a Del Toro fan or if you're the type of person whose inner child would get a kick out of seeing giant robots fight giant monsters! 7/10
